"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg said Wednesday that people should be "fighting for" lower taxes, adding that people had a little extra money "in their pocket" before tax codes changed.

ELECTION WORKERS TESTIFY HOW TRUMP SUPPORTERS THREATENED THEM: The View panel reacts to Tuesday's Jan. 6 hearing where Georgia election workers Shaye Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman testified about how former Pres. Trump's attacks impacted their lives.

Whoopi Goldberg called for lower taxes during Wednesday's episode of "The View," saying that before the change in tax codes, people had "a little extra in their pocket." 

During a discussion about Beyoncé's new song, "Break my soul," and the minimum wage, co-host Joy Behar said that the minimum wage should be $26 an hour "if they kept up with inflation." 

In her new single, Beyoncé sings about quitting her job and being worked too hard. "Work by nine/Then off past five/And they work my nerves/That's why I cannot sleep at night," she sings. 

"So people are frustrated with their jobs, you know? People have had it and they're quitting, but of course, if everybody quits, we don't have much of an economy, so we hope people find a better job. Doesn't this force the employers to give people more money?" Behar continued.

Co-host Sunny Hostin agreed and said "pay people their value."

Lindsey Granger cautioned listeners to not quit their jobs if they're not in a good financial position. 

"What you really need to be fighting for, is you need to be fighting for less taxes because before the tax laws changed people had a little extra in their pocket," Goldberg said. "We need to change these tax laws because they're full of boo." 

The hosts noted a connection between Beyoncé's new song and the theory of the "Great Resignation."

The "Great Resignation" describes the idea that people were voluntarily leaving their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Behar and her fellow hosts slammed former Trump officials on Friday's episode of "The View." She appeared to dig at frequent guest hosts of the show, Stephanie Grisham and Alyssa Farah, and described them as "recovering addicts."

"These people who are now all, like, recovering addicts — recovering addicts in the Trump world that come on, even on this show. They come on this show, and they go on other shows and they're suddenly turning on Trump," Behar said.

NBC Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade join Andrea Mitchell to discuss key challenges facing the January 6 Committee ahead of their primetime hearings this week: getting a "distracted nation" to pay attention and understand what's at stake. “I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care,” says Alcindor. “The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment,” says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."
